| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL I will not waste money on any of those touted Better Records! Asking hundreds of dollars for typically common LPs is blatant profiteering preying upon the gullible! | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Just buy nice original pressings! Though those old jazz LPs are often very expensive (why I don't have more of them!). | |
| Stumped by preamp-amp issues Most volume controls are most linear from 9 to 3 o'clock. So if the sound is fine (not distorted) you are probably ok! | |
| Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps So, what format? LP, CD or streaming? | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit Vs Magnavox CDB650 with Phillips chip +1 rankaudio! Looking forward to your further comparisons! | |
| What the...have I just done ? Please explain... Banana PLUG - not "jack"! The jack is the part the plug goes into. Putting a piece of tape on a plug for an improvement in SQ - lay off the likker, ok? | |
| Apogee Scintilla Power Acoustat TNT! Excellent amp, now forgotten! | |

| Why all or most audiophiles are men? I only met ONE woman audiophile! That was at the NYC Audio Show back in 1978! We shared a bonding moment while gazing at a Linn Sondek with Mayware Formula 4 arm! She was a sales rep for Polk - at the time a distributor for Mayware. | |
| Looking for a vintage tuner these days I bought a McIntosh MR-77 in 9+ condition from an EBay seller for about $600+ ! A real fine tuner - wish there were more quality FM stations in my area (Tampa/St.Pete). Just two: 89.7 WUSF and 103.9 WSMR. The rest, just commercial pop/rock/rap dreck. | |
| Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall? Snell Type A's! Designed to be used that way! I have a pair (III's) from the original owner - bought from the Connecticut audio store where I once worked! Talk about serendipity! The Type A III's will KILL just about any of today's over-priced fiv... |
